Recap of chapter 3• Acquisition method: recognize and measure identifiable net assets
at fair value + recognize goodwill– Recognition and measurement principles
• Different forms of business combination but in substance they share common features – Acquirer who gains control of one or more businesses– Acquisition of a subsidiary = Acquisition of net assets of the
acquiree
Introduction
Focus of chapter 4:• Subsequent effects when identifiable net assets are consumed, extinguished or
amortized.– Sale, consumption, use or settlement of the assets and liabilities of acquiree
should be recorded at fair value– Test for impairment of goodwill
• Subsequent effects of acquisition– Demonstrate how consolidation journal entries are passed to record the
subsequent effects of acquisition• Accounting for non-controlling interests
– Show how the balance of the non-controlling interests can be analyzed with respect to three components
– Illustrate the consolidation journal entries to recognize non-controlling interest’s share of equity
• Accounting for business combinations in multiple periods– Explain the re-enactment process: involving re-enacting certain past
consolidation adjusting entries.

2. Elimination of the investment in a subsidiary
Elimination of Investment Account
• Investment account is eliminated – To ensure that the investment account must be zero– Substituted with subsidiary’s identifiable net assets and goodwill (residual)– Rationale: Avoid recognizing assets in two forms (investment in parent’s
statement of financial position and individual assets and liabilities of subsidiary)

Elimination of Investment Account
• Investment account is eliminated (Continued)– Pre-acquisition retained earnings or pre-acquisition reserves of subsidiary
are not included in consolidated equity• Rationale: Pre-acquisition retained earnings arose prior to the exercise
of control by parent– The elimination process will result in residuals comprising of
• Goodwill; and• Excess or deficit of fair value over book value of identifiable net assets
• Re-enactment of elimination of investment entry in subsequent year– Re-enacted as long as the investment exists
• Rationale: parent’s legal entity financial statements would include investment in subsidiary balance

Illustration 1: Elimination of investment
Illustration On 8 August 2010, Parent Co. bought 100% interest in subsidiary for $200,000. At the date of acquisition, Subsidiary Co had the following:
Share capital: $50,000Retained earnings: $30,000Equity: $80,000
At acquisition date, Subsidiary Co unrecognized intangible assets had a fair value of $50,000. Tax rate was 20%

Re-enacting CJE
• Building blocks of consolidation worksheet are the legal entity financial statements of parent and subsidiary
• CJE 1 has to be re-enacted at each reporting date as long as Parent has control over subsidiary
• Each consolidation process is a fresh-start approach

• At acquisition date, we recognize:– Fair value of identifiable net assets of acquiree as at acquisition date,– Intangibles, contingent liabilities,– Deferred tax assets or liabilities on the above; and– Goodwill as a residual
• In subsequent years:– Subsequent extinguishment of assets and liabilities of subsidiary must be
determined based on the fair values at acquisition date.– Therefore, subsequent amortization, depreciation and cost of sales of acquired
assets are determined based on fair value as at acquisition date– Elimination of consideration transferred , recognition of fair value adjustments
and amortization entries must be repeated until:i. Date of disposal of the investment in subsidiary; orii. Date when control is lost
In Subsequent Years
• In subsequent years (Continued)– Acquisition method only recognizes fair value at critical event:
acquisition date• New internally-generated goodwill or subsequent appreciation in fair
values are not recognized subsequent to acquisition date– Since net assets are carried at book value in the separate financial
statements, the subsequent amortization/depreciation/disposal are adjusted in the consolidation worksheet

Illustration 2: Amortization of Fair Value Differentials• Consideration transferred = Cash consideration + Fair value
of share issued = $6,200,000 + (1,000,000 x $3) = $9,200,000
• Deferred tax liability = 20% x ($7,600,000 - $4,700,000) = $580,000
• Goodwill = Consideration transferred + NCI – Fair value of net identifiable assets, after-tax = $9,200,000 + $2,300,000 – ($7,600,000 - $580,000) = $4,480,000

• P’s share of goodwill = Consideration transferred – 80% x Fair value of net identifiable assets, after tax = $9,200,000 – 80% x $7,020,000 = $9,200,000 – $5,616,000 = $3,584,000
• NCI’s share of goodwill = Consideration transferred – 20% x Fair value of net identifiable assets, after tax = $2,300,000 – 20% x $7,020,000 = $2,300,000 – $1,404,000 = $896,000

4. Accounting for non-controlling interest under IFRS 3
Non-controlling interest
• NCI only arises in consolidated financial statements where:– one or more subsidiaries are not wholly owned by the parent (IFRS 10)
• NCI are entitled to their share of retained earnings of the subsidiary from incorporation– No distinction between pre-acquisition and post-acquisition retained
earnings for NCI
• Same applies to OCI– NCI collectively have a share of accumulated OCI arising from
incorporate date to the current date
• NCI are normally a credit balance– Share of residual interests in the net assets of a subsidiary– Total equity (parent’s and NCI) = Assets - Liabilities
Tan, Lim & Lee Chapter 4 © 2015 29
Non-Controlling Interests’ Share of Goodwill• IFRS 3 Para 19 allows NCI to be measured in either of two ways
Tan, Lim & Lee Chapter 4 © 2015 30
Non-controlling interests
Measured at Fair value at acquisition
date (include goodwill)
“ Fair value basis”
Measured as a proportion of the
recognized amounts of the identifiable assets as
at acquisition date
Non-Controlling Interests’ Share of Goodwill• Under the fair value basis:
– FV is determined by either the active market prices of subsidiary’s equity share at acquisition date or other valuation techniques
– FV per share of NCI may differ from parent because of control premium paid by parent (e.g. 20% premium over market price to gain control)
– NCI comprises of 3 items:

Share of book value of net assets
Share of unamortized

Illustration 3:Non-Controlling Interests’ Share of Goodwill
The FV of NCI that owned 10% of Subsidiary A as at 31 Dec 20x1(Acquisition date) was $25,000. The financial statements of Subsidiary A as at acquisition date are as shown below. Subsidiary A had unrecognized intangible assets with fair value of $40,000. Tax rate is 20%. Determine NCI’s good will as at acquisition date.
Subsidiary A’s Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 20x1:
Tan, Lim & Lee Chapter 4 © 2015 36

NCI's share of FV of identifiable net assets (10%) 19,200
NCI's goodwill (25,000 - 19,200) 5,800
Tan, Lim & Lee Chapter 4 © 2015 37
Under alternative basis where NCI are measured as a proportion of the recognized amounts of the identifiable assets as at acquisition date: NCI’s goodwill is zero Amount to be recognized as NCI is $19,200 only
Accounting for Non-Controlling Interests under IFRS 3• In consolidation, non-controlling interests have a share of:
Profit after tax Dividends declared Share capital Retained earnings and other comprehensive income (eg. Revaluation
reserve) at acquisition date Change in retained earnings and other comprehensive income from the
date of acquisition to the current period Fair value differential of a subsidiary’s net assets at acquisition date Subsequent extinguishment of the different between the fair value and
book value of identifiable net assets; and Goodwill (if the fair value alternative is adopted)

Reconstructing NCI on Statement of Financial Position• At each reporting date, group will re-create NCI account in the
consolidated financial statement by recognizing the sequential build up:– As of acquisition date– From acquisition date to beginning of the current period– During the current period
• Known as the “re-enactment process” of the attribution of equity to NCI

Allocation to Non-controlling Interests
Tan, Lim & Lee Chapter 4 © 2015 41
1. Allocation of the change in equity from date of acquisition to the beginning of the current period

Allocation to Non-controlling Interests
Tan, Lim & Lee Chapter 4 © 2015 42
2. Allocation of current profit after tax to NCI
• Attribution of profit to NCI is not expense item and should not be shown above the profit after tax line
• Without attribution, retained earnings of the group would be over-stated and NCI’s share of equity would be under-stated
• The same attribution principle applies to Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) – NCI are attributed their share of OCI arising during a period
Examples: Revaluation surplus or deficit on property, PPE and intangible assets etc.

3. Allocation of dividends to NCI• Reverses the profit and loss effects of dividends in consolidated
income statement• A repayment of profits by a subsidiary• Reduces the NCI’s residual stake in the net assets of the subsidiary
Dr Dividend income (Parent) Dr NCI (Equity)Cr Dividends declared (Subsidiary)
Can NCI be a debit balance?
• IFRS 10 paragraph B94 (Appendix B) requires NCI to have a debit balance if:
– NCI share of losses > NCI existing share of the subsidiary’s share capital, retained earnings and other equity items
• Departure from an earlier version of IAS 27 that requires NCI to be carried at zero balance
– Losses being borne by majority shareholders unless the NCI have binding obligation to make further investments to make good the losses
• Opposing views on NCI being a debit balance– Parent who has control of subsidiary should bear the responsibility of supporting
an insolvent subsidiary – Limited liability argument: NCI stand to lose only their investment and have no
legal obligation to bear any further lossesTan, Lim & Lee Chapter 4 © 2015 44
Can NCI be a debit balance?
• IASB’s support for NCI to be a debit balance– NCI participate proportionally in the risks and rewards of a subsidiary– Limited liability argument: Parent stand to lose only their investment and have no
legal obligation to bear any further losses in the absence of guarantees
Tan, Lim & Lee Chapter 4 © 2015 45
Analytical check on Non-controlling Interests’ balance• If the fair value basis is adopted
– NCI in a subsidiary have a share in the same three components that the parent has under the acquisition method
• If NCI are recognized as proportion of FV of identifiable net assets– Only two components apply to non-controlling interests
• Share of book value of net assets or shareholders’ equity of a subsidiary
• Share of the balance of unamortized fair value adjustments
• If NCI have both present ownership interests (e.g. ordinary shares) and potential ownership interests (e.g. options)– Only present ownership interests may be measured as a proportion of
identifiable net assets

NCI’s share of (NCI % multiply by):a) Book value of net assets of subsidiary at
year-end +/- unrealized profit/loss from upstream sale
b) Unamortized balance of FV adjustments at year-end
c) Unimpaired balance of goodwill at year end ([Acquisition-date FV of NCI – NCI % x acquisition-date FV of identifiable net assets] less any cumulative impairment)

Goodwill Impairment Test
• IAS 36: Goodwill has to be reviewed annually for impairment loss
– Reviewed as part of a cash-generating unit (CGU)
• CGU is the lowest level at which the goodwill is monitored for internal
management purposes and
• Not larger than a segment determined under IFRS 8 Operating Segments
– Goodwill will be allocated to each of the acquirer’s CGU, or group of
CGUs
Tan, Lim & Lee Chapter 4 © 2015 49
Goodwill Impairment Test
Tan, Lim & Lee Chapter 4 © 2015 50
1. Carrying amount:– Net assets of the cash-generating unit– It includes entity goodwill attribute to parent and NCI
2. Recoverable amount:– IAS 36 allows the higher of the below two metrics to determine
recoverable amount:
Higher of FV less cost to sell (an arms-length measure) Uses market based inputs or market participants’ assumptions in the
valuation process
Value-in-use (VIU) Present value of future net cash flows Uses internal or entity-specific input to determine the future cash flows VIU likely to be more discretionary as assumptions about future cash flows
are required
Goodwill Impairment Test
3. If carrying amount > recoverable amount– Impairment loss is first allocated to goodwill– Then to other assets in proportion to their individual carrying amounts– Impairment tests to be carried out on annual basis; regardless of
whether indications of impairment exists– Impairment once made is not reversible, as it may result in the
recognition of internally-generated goodwill which is prohibited under IAS 38

Determine the recoverable amount of the CGU
If carrying amount ≤ recoverable amount
If carrying amount ≥ recoverable amount

NCI at FV at acquisition date
NCI as a proportion of identifiable net asset at
acquisition dateGoodwill on consolidation Includes NCI’s goodwill Excludes NCI’s goodwill
Carrying amount of cash-generating unit
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating unit without further adjustment
Goodwill has to be grossed up to include NCI’s share
Notionally adjusted goodwill= Recognized goodwill/ parent’s interest
Impairment loss
Impairment loss is shared between parent and NCI on the same basis on which profit or loss is allocated
Impairment loss is borne only by parent as goodwill for NCI is not recognized
Illustration 4:Goodwill Impairment TestCompany X has 80% ownership in a CGU with identifiable net assets of $6 million as at 31 Dec 20x1. The recoverable amount of the CGU as an entity was $5 million as at that date. Determine the impairment loss of goodwill in the CGU under two alternative measurement basis:
(a) NC measured at FV at acquisition date. Goodwill recognized by CGU was $1.2 million
(b) NCI measured as a proportion of FV of identifiable net assets at acquisition date. Goodwill recognized by CGU was $1 million

• Two sets of financial statements must be presented:
– Investor’s separate financial statements for the legal entity
– Consolidated financial statements for group of companies
• Although two sets of accounts exist, only one set of “books” has to be kept by
the legal entity
– Consolidation worksheets are used to prepare consolidated financial statement
• Summation of line items of the financial statements of parents and subsidiaries
• Incorporation of adjustments to eliminate and adjust intragroup transactions and balances
• Transactions and balances in consolidated financial statement reflect group’s perspective
Conclusion
• All business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method – Entails an “asset substitution process”– Acquirer is deemed to have obtained control of all assets and liabilities of
acquiree.– Acquisition date is a critical economic event (exchange of economic
resources between acquirer and the former-owners)– Use of fair values to recognize assets and liabilities– Unrecognized intangible assets and contingent liabilities recognized if they
meet criteria in IFRS 3– NCI included as a component in equity

• Under the acquisition method:
– Consideration transferred = Fair value of (assets transferred + liabilities incurred + equity interests issued by acquirer + contingent consideration)
– Asset substitution process: Investment account is eliminated and substituted with:
• Subsidiary’s identifiable net assets; and
• Goodwill
– Goodwill = Fair value of (consideration transferred + non-controlling interests + acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree) – acquiree’s recognized net identifiable assets
